Given the amount of modes you could potentially be downloading and installing, the vanilla mod manager screen can sometimes get a bit cumbersome. Hillier Hills does exactly what it says on the tin, but it also benefits from working with the Civ 5 visual mod (see below), which is a surprising treat sprinkled on top of an already surprising mod. I mean, what is this? Age of Empires? Luckily for you one hero has stepped up and given us the phat gradients we’ve all been longing for for so long. We all know that the one thing Civ 6 needs is hillier hills. Kelp forests have been introduced as a new terrain feature, while 2 new bonus resources and 3 luxury resources have also been added, which support the Monopolies and Corporations game mode introduced in the recent New Frontier season pass. Sukritact’s Oceans is here to fix that, introducing a new game mode that adds more resources, features, and even gameplay mechanics. The average Civ 6 player may not spend a lot of time thinking about the game’s oceans, but if you stop to look closely they’re actually pretty dull. Sukritact strikes again with another brilliant mod. Upgrading your spaces requires upgrade points, which you earn as you play. These new elements have aboslutely no gameplay benefits or effects, and can safely be added to games you already have in-progress. Thrones and Palaces adds new visual UI spaces where you can upgrade not only your own palace-like building, but the throne room within it, offering the bet of both worlds. If you were ever a fan of the throne rooms from Civ II, or Civ III’s palaces, then this mod is for you.
